# WASH POST22 DEC 31## NBC ClaimsDiem DeathInside StorySoreaten Generala andcolonels of the South Vietnamese Army voted unanimously to kill President 'NgoDinh Diem in 1963, and werenot particularly discouragedby hight: ranking. USCIA Official, an NBC reportscheduled to be telecast tonight disclosesThe report is Part 3 of "AnNBC News White Paper: Vietnam - Hindsight - and dealswith the origins of America'sInvolvement in that SoutheastAsia country.The report presents the firstsupposed inside: account ofDiem's assassination, disguisedas a political, roup, and includes statements by AlvinDavis, associate producer ofthe program, and Lt. Col. Luelen Conein, the key CIA manin South Vietnam during thetime of the coup.It is "quite inconceivable",to Conein that Gen. MaxwellTaylor and others were notaware of the timing of thecoup, Conein says on the program, which depicts Diem'sdeath as a Diem maneuver,that, backfired.The decision to kill Diemis reported to have developedover a series of eight meetings and arguments, and, finally, a vote. Three who wouldhave voted to save Diem wereassassinated before the votewas taken. Four others including the present PrimeMinister, Khirim, were deliberately excluded from the voteamong the 17. Sou.mer, wanted him killed fromthe start and the only overheard phrase spoken in Frenchrather than in Vietnamese wasby Big Minh, might have beenpresidential contender in theOctober 1971, election. saidLord, "the tug must be killed."After that, the vote wentlike this: Big Minh: kill; GenDon: kill; Gen Xuan, kill; Col.Nghia, kill. At the end therewas total unanimity, and a vowof silence was taken. The silence is to be broken tonight,Davis says.Diem had asked for fullhonors, and a "graceful" exitfrom Vietnam to exile in another country, but refused to.was furious at the slight.Between 6 and 9 p.m. Nov. 2the day of Diem's death, herefused again to speak toMinh, then finally spoke tohim on the telephone, butMinh, outraged, hung up. Onthe third try. Diem gave in,asking only for safe conduct.At this point Col. Coneinsaid he was told by Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge notto instigate, encourage or discourage a coup, which was inthe planning stages throughout October, 1963. But Diem,Conein said, had his own plans,for a phony coup, after whichhe and his family would bebrought in honors, by popularacclaim, back to Saigon fromtheir place of exile, Pleiku.What happened, apparently,is that both the phony coupand the real one came off atthe same time, fooling Diemand his brother, Ngo DinhNhu.Conein, in an attempt to getDiem out of the country sayshe asked his embassy for aplane, but was told that he,would have to wait 24 hoursfor it."I spoke for the U.S. government and I was authorizedand I informed the junta(Diem's organizations) thathad an aircraft, but it wouldtake me 24 hours to have thataircraft on the ground.""Instead," Davis asked"Instead, he was shot by amajor in the Vietnamesearmy," Conein says on theTelecast
